Favorite Lake in Kentucky to fish?

[BlackcatAlum]

I'd say Yatesville ! But I've only fished Paintsville, Dewey, Yatesville, and Cave Run !

[baseballfan]

i would have to say caverun lake. Maybe because that is were i've been fishing my whole life

[steelman10]

i like yatesville but cave run is my favorite

[BurntTires]

Dale Hollow the Kentucky side, good Smallmouth Bass.

[friendofbelfry]

I like grayson, It is very small....But lots of bluegill and crappie! My personal fav to fish for.

[BlackcatAlum]

Who has fished Lake Cumberland ? I've been wanting to go somtime this summer !

[and_1]

Well I have fished at Cave Run, great lake to fish. One lake I wouldn't suggest fishing is Carr Creek Lake. There isn't any good fishing there unless if course you want to catch old boots or stick fish.

[Moe]

Cave Run without a doubt, its beautiful there, good fishing, alot of camping areas, cabins, etc....all and all it by far my favorite.

[and_1]

Well I mentioned earlier that Carr Creek Lake sucks.....does anyone like to fish there?

[TheBrahmaBull]

Green River Lake in Taylor/Adair County

[TheBrahmaBull]

Well I mentioned earlier that Carr Creek Lake sucks.....does anyone like to fish there?I have fished Carr Fork Lake before and it is not bad, but not good either. Very scenic and has a good variety of fish IMO. I have seen a good sized wallai(sp"), some big catfish, and some medium sized bass come from that lake.

But how often do you see that, too?

[TheBrahmaBull]

But how often do you see that, too?Not that often.

[clubber_layne]

I like fishin on lake Cumberland

[kybass88]

Cedear Creek Lake Crab Orchard Ky Trophy lake 20in size limit. The lake is full of 17 to 18in Bass if you have never been you need to try this one.

[Battle Tested]

has anyone fished buckhorn

[and_1]

Not that often.

My point exactly...lol

[Crossbones]

I like Yatesville for the location, but as BurntTires said, Dale Hollow is awesome. If you know how to fish Dewey, it too is a great lake to fish.

[Batpuff]

Yatesville by far is my favorite, althought I like anywhere you can catch a fish or two.

[#25]

I dont fish in Kentucky. I fish in Tennessee.

[TOMCAT06]

[Hamburger]

I like Laurel Lake

[Armchair QB]

If your fishing for smallmouth there is no place like Dale Hollow. World Record came from there. Great Crappie lake also. As far as EKY, got to go with Yatesville.

[The_Pistol]

Cave Run


Mine to

[baseballfan]

Cave Run
Is the best My biggest fish i have ever caught came out of that lake

[OffTheHook]

[Spartan4Life]

Cave run, Carrs Fork has the best croppie fishing in EKY though. I've caught tons out of there.

[If...Then]

Cave Run.

Catch Em' Alllllll Day

[Wuzza Bear]

Can't believe no one has said Paintsville Lake, it's a pretty lake and you can catch some nice fish. I'm trying out Dale Hollow sometime soon, hope its good.

[UnderArmour24]

I have fished about every big lake in the state and Barren River has by far been the best for me catching largemouth. Dale Hollow would be the best if you were fishing for smallmouth.

:Thumbs: Absolutely!!! I love Dale Hollow. Haven't had the pleasure to fish Barren, but have heard nothing but great things. I'll be making a trip to Guntersville this March.

I made a trip to Guntersville last year. Your in for some big largemouth and you better have some braided line to pull them out of that mill foil and grass. Good luck!

[5timechamp]

Anyone who gets the chance should go to Land Between the Lakes. Fish Barkley or Kentucky both are fantastic.

[EyesInTheStands]

I've got to give my vote to Yatesville, I like taking the wife and kids and making it a family outting.

[Super-Card]

Barkley

I'll try to help if I can. First, what is your prop to pad height? Never mind..........go to Bassboatcentral.com and they can answer any ? you have. Most have already been answered. Great bunch of people that know alot about boats and setups.

[warrior20]

i would have to say lake cumberland

[RavenBoy]

Laurel Lake is nice.

[RavenBoy]

Also is Rough River Lake

[bearsfan_54]

It's hard not to catch fish at the Cumberland River. It's probably my personal favorite. But other than that I've only fished on Cave Run twice, Dewey, Red River Gorge, and Lake Cumberland.

[bballs]

East Ky, would have to be Yatesville and Dewey is coming on again. Don't fish here much though.

[Big man on campus]

i fish carr fork every year and seem to do very well caught a couple over 20in last year... just a matter of knowing the spots!!!

[bac2369]

i like carr fork,but never fished it on a boat, cause some good keeper bass off the bank, biggest caught was 20 inches,, laurel lake is good 2,

[RedSox_#1]

Lake Cumberland

[RavenBoy]

i fish carr fork every year and seem to do very well caught a couple over 20in last year... just a matter of knowing the spots!!!Dewey isnt bad.

[JackRabbitSlim]

Dewey isnt bad.


I love Cave Run. Greenbo Lake isn't bad either. You can't forget about Fish Trap either though.:)

[Big man on campus]

dewey is a very nice lake... alot of shallow weed beds.... i fish it all the time.... caught some good fish out of it

[RavenBoy]

I figured if the Casino passes, there will be one at Lake Cumberland. Which would draw alot of fishermen and vacations there. Casinos would help the lakes more than anyone since Casinos gotta be on water around here.

[Jshort5]

I dont fish in Kentucky. I fish in Tennessee.

I do also. On Douglas and Cherokee

[RavenBoy]

Has anyone ever fished in the Great Lakes??

[OU_Bruiser]
